So I was wondering about zymol cure time. I have heard from a month to 20 minutes and I wanted to know what zymol recomended



I send the following e-mail



Hello,



I have been using zymol concours and Titanium for a few months now. I have normaly waited 24 hours between coats (if not longer) however have recently heard only 6 hours is needed.

I was wondering what Zymol recomends as a cure time on Concours, Vintage (to be ordered soon), and titanium?



Thank you for the information







Here is the response I got. I posted it becasue I know there are a few other people who are intrested in this info.

Michael,



Actually 2-3 hours is more than sufficient for all our waxes or glazes, especially if you mist the vehicle with cool water and then buff dry after about an hour from waxing. Misting helps set and level the carnauba as carnauba is inherently hydroscopic. This will also give you a greater depth of shine and reflection.



Regards,

I am assuming he is talking about misting after waxing.

Kidding righ??



Edit: Dave is a very friendly and knowledgeable person. Its always great dealing with him on the phone!
 
This is exactly what Swissvax recommends. In fact, it's right on their tubs of wax. Seems to work for them, so I would imagine it works for Zymol too.
 
I've spit-shined my car a few times in a similar manner using refrigerated distilled water. I did it primarily to remove a few water spots that I wasn't quick enough to get with the WW after a traditional wash, and I was out of Field Glaze.



Not only did it remove the water spots, but it really did give an improved shine as Dave states.



I've fallen into a routine of applying one coat every three weeks.



Great info.. thanks for sharing! :)
 
when exactly do you mist with the cold water? After applying the wax right before buffing off? Or wait an hour or so after?

I thnk its an hour after the was has been applied and buffed off.. so an hour after the car has been waxed.. I think it ust allows the oils and solvents to dry out making the wax isharder
 
Interesting.... that mist-and-wipe is something we did all the time back in the day (before there were sealants), I'd sorta forgotten about it.



When we were doing it we applied the wax, buffed off the excess, waited, and *then* misted and wiped. Different objective compared to spit-shining.
